What could this be?

Hi guys,

I'm 21 and at the moment suffering from a off-balance type of feeling and feeling out of it, I thought this could possiably either 2 or 3 things such as low blood pressure or oversleeping or just a cold but I've had it for most of the week. Ive been trying to drink alot of water which seems to have helped. my jaw clicks espically on waking. I thought it might be do something with my jaw. but I am not sure. It happens now again but weather that things have caught up with me or it's something else like anxiety. This has happened before on several occations in my life.

Cheers

Jem

 

Hi Jem and welcome:)

I just want to clarify, have you had anxiety issues before? I am wondering why you would think that your symptoms are anxiety related...they certainly could be, but it is hard to say since the sensations of anxiety could just as easily be something else, as you mentioned in your post.

I think that the best thing to do (especially if these are new symptoms for you) would be to get a check up from your general dr. If everything turns out clear, then you can assume that these are stress-related, and seek treatment options at that point.

In the meantime, we have a great Resource Guide (main page, 3rd post down) that will give you some links to sites that teach anxiety coping mechanisms. These could help you to reduce your over-all stress level, and maybe the symptoms will go away naturally:)

I hope that you can get the answers that you are seeking soon. Take care and post anytime.

Yeah, make sure that your check-up includes the basics...blood pressure, thyroid check, blood test (including blood glucose levels and blood counts)

Let us know how it goes, and if it turns out to be anxiety related, come on back...we will be here to help:)

Hi, I hope that you are feeling better today. How long have you been dealing with the heart condition? I ask because if this is a new diagnoses, then you could be experiencing anxiety over it.

Many people with chronic illness also struggle with A/P over their health concerns, who wouldn't?.

I hope that you are feeling better, or finding the reason behind your symptoms.

We have a wonderful Cardio Forum here at HW if you are interested in posting there as well...but feel free to post with us too, when you are in need of reassurance, or if you are feeling stressed:)

Take care,
